Veteran Nollywood star Dele Odule is set to unveil his much-anticipated film village in Ijebu Oru, marking another milestone in his decades-long impact on the Nigerian movie industry, particularly within the Yoruba film space.
Ahead of the official launch, the respected actor hosted his protégé, Muyiwa Ademola, on a private tour of the facility. During the visit, Ademola was taken around the expansive project, exploring various sections designed to serve as a hub for filmmaking and creative expression.
A video from the visit captured the moment Muyiwa arrived and visibly admired the development as Dele Odule personally walked him through the property. The atmosphere reflected excitement and pride, with the younger actor clearly impressed by the scale and vision behind the project.
Afterward, Muyiwa shared his thoughts, applauding his mentor’s effort and creativity.
“What an amazing project! Went visiting my Mentor’s facility in Ijebu Oru! What an awesome effort from one of our living legends himself. Though it hasn’t been officially unveiled yet, I just have to let you get a feel for what to expect. It is such a beautiful, creative base… Prepare to go with us on this journey. Congratulations once again, boss,” he wrote.
Although full details of the film village remain undisclosed, it is expected to include multiple spaces tailored for production, storytelling, and artistic growth.
The development highlights a broader trend among Nollywood veterans investing in infrastructure to strengthen the industry, with Dele Odule’s initiative poised to boost capacity and support a more sustainable creative ecosystem in Nigeria’s Yoruba film sector.
